How can I get rid of a Congratulations-you-won.com-yourprize.com pop up window on my iPad? It wants me to answer ok but I'm afraid it is a virus.

Thank you I have just rebooted by pressing off button and the button at the bottom of the phone this has solved the problem. thank you all for your help

HI clicked okay on the Congratulations-you-won.com-yourprize.com and now everytime i open a site it automatically convert to that pop up add , what do i do?

There is a solution on the first page. Did you read that and Clear History and Website Data?

I Know this is some time after the original post but … to others looking to solve the problem here's the beSt way:

1) Go to Settings and turn on Airplane Mode. ( turning off wi fi could still leave your cellphone data access open).

2) Return to Safari and click OK. Ignore prompts to turn off Airplane mode. You might see a cached page come up or simply a message that Safari could not connect to the web page. Close that page.

3) Clear your History and Website Data in Settings > Safari for added security

4) Return to Settings to turn off Airplane mode and continue.

This script is still out there (September 2016) and shows up on any site that uses ad feeds. It can show up on pretty much anywhere, it has nothing to do with **** sites.

I want to win an Iphone.Please!!!

IT seems it happens just with certain site , legit sites. For example in my iPad is happening with Clarin.com. After a while I see these strange behaviors.

What I did was to turn off the internet on my iPad (pretty much the same thing) and that fixed the problem.

Without internet, the browser tab just gave me an alert that the Internet was disconnected and I was able to close the tab.

My situation was that I had the "Congratulations" pop up and it asked me to press "OK". (I had opened a Yahoo website news story.)

- I did not press the OK in the pop up. But I could not get rid of the pop up because I could not close the tab or go to another tab.

I was using the Dolphin browser which does not have a 'clear history' in settings.

I double clicked the home button and removed Dolphin from memory several times. I did an iPad reset/turned it off using the power button.

It didn't help.

- Again, turning off the internet on my iPad allowed me to close the tab.

This is an old post but still comes up. The spyware is attached to a particular website. Inform that site that their info is being tracked by phishers.

And you should delete your history in safari often. It also speeds up your iOS .

Your info was tracked because you filled info on a website that is probably legit..but now they see you and want to get more info because iOS will not let them into your device. Inform the website because the problem is theirs'.

The problem is not the contact but the info. Airplane mode simply turns off the contact.....same as leaving site and closing tab.

It happens to my iPhone when I open the app "Span¡shD¡ct". It only pops up the first time I open this app everyday. Should we report to Apple that some apps are infested with malware?

********. I just got a brand new iPhone. It started happening immediately. Clearing browsing history will not solve anything. The problem is apple's inability to control ads and site scripting.

I have a pop up box on facebook that says my iPad has been chosen for a reward. I don't want to click on it. My screen is frozen. Turning off does not work

Double tap your bottom home. Button and swipe up to close out the page.

Then go to your website as usual.

I tried going to Safari and clicking on clear history and website data but it didn't work. I also get kicked off the wifi connection when I click on safari.

Hi. Did you force-quit Safari before using the Settings to clear data?
